Nah, I mean I know that you're a friend and you're legitimately trying to help me figure this out. ( I'm on mobile right now so I probably will keep this one short.)
As for the writing, I'm really on a roll. When I'm not writing I'm thinking about writing which hasn't been a thing in years. It's just so refreshing to feel myself again.
Yeah, I figured it would be quite a task trying to learn my way around the grocery store. Like, today, i ended up with plain packaged tuna and a bag of greens and an avacado. I thought I'll squeeze a little lemon on it, and there you go. OK - just the tuna itself (canned version, instead of vacummed in a packet) had like 5x the amount of crap in it. The package version has less tuna and cost twice as much, but it has 2 3 ingredients, not 20. The nutritional value is also much higher. Is it because the canned version has longer self life? That cost me $6 total and it will give me 2 full meals, and its fairly nutritionally complete.
Also, like you mentiomed, yeah, I'm kind of getting this idea that imported items are better. I like to have herbal tea with some kind of snack in the morning. I found these lemon biscuits that have zero cholesterol, no sodium, and 4g sugar, gmo-free, no food coloring, and very short ingredient list. Its made with potato flour? From India. Got it from a ethnic discount shop place (needed detergent for laundry) and was surprised that most of the food/pantry items all like this. They're super plain, flakey, and goes well with like camomile tea. Super mild lemon flavor.
Funny because with the onsite lunch they served yesterday, it came hotess zingers (ever heard of these?) And I couldn't even have 1 bite. I haven't eaten things like this since high school. Dude. Single serving packet has 150g of sugar. WTF 23% sodium WUT. That's like, just a tiny snack. And this lady was like, u gonna eat your dessert? Dude.
